When Marquis Zhaoping saw another pirate ship coming, he remembered the sound of the signal fireworks being launched in the rain just now, and knew that it was the accomplices of the three-masted pirate ship coming to support.

He guessed that Wen Qiao had already taken control of the situation, so they had to ask for support, and he felt relieved.

The strange ship came speeding from the sea.

Marquis Zhaoping used a bamboo pole to support himself and stood up. He moved slowly and tremblingly as he tried to run towards the boat, but he was accidentally tripped by a small protruding stone on the ground of the island and fell heavily to the ground.

This is the scene that the fourth in command, Ge Zhu, saw when he came down from the sailboat with seventeen pirates armed with scimitars, machetes and other weapons.

Ge Zhu observed from a distance and found that Zhao Pinghou was unarmed. He then walked over and helped him up. "Old man, why are you doing this?"

While Ge Zhu was helping Zhao Pinghou up, he felt around the old man's body for any place where he could hide a weapon. He discovered that the old man was not carrying any hidden weapons like a dagger, and there was no sign of disguise on his face.

Ge Zhu breathed a sigh of relief, it was just an ordinary fugitive.

"Why don't you tell me the truth? What's the cargo in the hold? How many people are there on deck? Why are you here to watch over the cargo, the fireman, and the crew?"

Marquis Zhaoping said firmly, "This ship is used to transport fugitives. There's no valuable cargo on board. Don't bother looking for it. The people in the cabin are fugitives just like me."

Jiang Lili quickly told Wen Qiao about the current situation.

The pirate below deck urged impatiently, "If you come out again, you'll be smoked!"

What the old man said before was false. Maybe he really was a fugitive. As for whether there were valuables under the boat, I believe it!

The older kids answered in unison: "It's hidden badly!"

Before you finish speaking, ask your family to loudly pass on the notice to each other.

"Brothers, capture this old man for you! Break my arms and legs!"

Zhao Gezhu was pulled by this person and struggled to resist. He seemed to be stumbling but walking steadily, but in fact he was leading the person behind him to the blind spot under the boat.

When the other pirates saw Lao Zhu being attacked, they looked in the direction of the flying reef with vigilance and surprise.

Qin Qi, who was leading people down the merchant ship, laughed when he heard the two men shouting, "There must be nothing broken under the ship!"

Even though Qin Qi had been doing evil things under the sea for so long and his conscience had long been lost, he couldn't help but feel a little sad and sympathetic at this moment. He was like a moth flying into a flame, which was quite tragic.

Zhao Gezhu put one hand on his waist and supported the bamboo pole with the other, breathing heavily and cursing with a furious look: "Those arrogant pirates, if they want to get off the ship, they have to step over my dead body!"

"Everyone on the deck, listen up! Line up and come out! If they do, you can just smoke them out!"

@Wen Qiao: Li Li, you've successfully captured the pirate ship. Xin Cheng and Xin Cheng are coming to support them on a small boat. It will probably take another quarter of an hour!

The pupils of the seventh in command, Pinghou, shrunk. He dared to doubt his own eyes. It was outrageous. A 70-year-old man could defeat eight people at once. How the hell was that reasonable?

We know how skilled those pirates are, but we have been plundering underwater for years and our methods are less ruthless than those of the convicts.

I felt sorry for myself when I saw the old man guarding the goods alone on the isolated island!

The other two pirates who stayed behind lifted the oilcloth, opened the wooden box, and took a look at the contents. "It's porcelain! No wonder they had to move it separately to the island!"

In fact, there were no less than eighty convicts and crew members on the deck, which meant that their numbers were eight times that of the enemy.

"The point is, your old bones are tough!"

Before Qin Qi finished speaking, a pirate came down and pulled Zhao Qin Qi aside and restrained him.

At the same time, there was a crisp sound of bone breaking, and Lao Zhu screamed: "Your hand is broken!"

The pirates at the exit slowly pulled people down. After about half an incense stick of time, all the boatmen came down and our weapons were confiscated. No one was criticized for walking too fast and was slapped.

"Here we go!" A boatman quickly and cleverly replied, "Don't delay fumigating, my friends. There's no valuable silk outside the warehouse, so please stop fumigating!"

Ge Zhu observed that the old man's clothes were even more worn than those of the boatmen on the boat, and he had a sachet around his waist, which was a common style of insect repellent sachet used when traveling through the Qinglin Mountains.

Immediately, a boatman explained: "There are old people and children outside the cabin, and they are all scared!"

Jiang Lili raised her voice and said to the people around her, "Older people should go down the deck first. The younger ones should move faster to buy time. Before going out, the formation should appear a little scattered to protect the cabin exit. The elderly, strong women, and children should stay outside the cabin first."

We smiled greedily: "The quality of the product is not good, we can't sell it at a bad price!"

As soon as those words were spoken, the children in the cabin became panicked. The older children were not yet frightened and started crying, but the crying sounds echoed outside the cabin board, which was a headache.

Sure enough, upon hearing that there was no precious silk outside the cabin and that there were few elderly, strong, women, and children outside, the pirates' brows revealed excitement: "Get down quickly! If you do, they will suffer the consequences!"

Before the boatmen finished speaking, they hurried below deck.

Lao Zhu was just about to throw the tinder out of the cabin when a palm-sized rock flew over from nearby and knocked the tinder out of my hand.

You old man, you cheated on me!

Before Ping Hou gave the order, he was slow to react and realized that Lao Deng attacked when Lao Zhu was about to throw the fire stick. It must be because there were no family members of mine on the bottom of the cabin!

Scared pirate

Jiang Lili calmed herself down, touched Wen Damei's hair, and said to you and the eldest child of the Yuanbao Gang, "Did you hide all the things you gave them?"

"Come out then!"

When the people below heard what the pirates said, they panicked and asked Qin Qiqiao: "Miss Jiang, what should we do?"

Looking towards the shore again, the eight people who stayed under the big island to transport the goods were already lying on the ground in a mess, unable to move!

But to be on the safe side, Jiang Lili chose to play it safe. There are no elderly people and few children on our side, so it would be difficult to be taken hostage. If something goes wrong with Daxin, it would be disastrous.

Before going down the deck, out of caution, I asked two nimble pirates to call out those hiding in the bottom of the cabin.

"Just that few people?"

“Click——”

In the rain, a figure wearing a straw hat and raincoat was standing under the side of the boat, holding a bamboo pole. The face above the straw hat was the face of the lonely old man who we had sent someone to watch over when we got off the boat.

"It shouldn't be on the bottom yet, right?"

Ping Hou waved his hand and called to the people in front of him, "You are arguing with the old man. Someone come to watch me, and leave two more people to move the cargo on the oilcloth bottom to your ship!"

"Why bother frightening them or not, Lao Zhu, light the fire!"

Our business rules are to only rob when it is not necessary, and to kill when it is not necessary, it is difficult to commit a sin if we kill too few people.
